Rosacea is an inflammatoryskin disorder that affects both men and women, but it’s 3 times more common inwomen. According to statistic, approximately 16 million Americans have someform of rosacea, though many are not even aware, since the symptoms, quiteoften, mimic acne. In most cases the condition presents as redness (similar torash) spread over the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead, accompanied by bumps,similar to acne outbreaks, usually located under the eyes. Since the disorderis poorly understood and the cause is not determined, there is a lot of controversial information all over the internet. While it is true that rosaceais not curable, there are certain things you can doto stop it from progressingand reduce the negative effects it has on your skin and, most importantly, onyour self-esteem. Today we’ll share withyou a very effective natural way to prevent rosacea outbreaks and to maintainyour skin healthy and redness-free!

The Benefits

The biggest advantage ofRosehip oilwhen compared to othernatural plant oils is the high amount ofVitamin Cit contains. Aside from being a verypowerfulantioxidant, Vitamin C strengthens the walls of theblood vessels, reducing the amount of broken capillaries, which means: lessredness and healthier looking skin. Vitamin C also works as lightening agentand with regular use, significantly improves skin’s clarity. Last but notleast, Vitamin C aids in the collagen synthesis and this way restores skin’selasticity, smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles.

Another reason why we worship Rosehip oil isbecause it is super rich in essential fatty acids (over 70%) and works reallywell for maintain the integrity of the hydro-lipid barrier of our skin (crucialfor keeping it hydrated and protected from external damage)

Speaking of Vitamin C and how wonderful it is for your skin, let me introduce you to one of my recent favorites…

Tamanu oil, also known as “the natural skin healer” has a specific rich green color and light nutty smell. Rich in fatty acids like linoleic acid, oleic acid, stearic acid, palmitic acid, and the not-so-famous, but quite intriguing, callophyllic acid, the oil has a great variety of properties that your skin can benefit from.

It containsantioxidants, coumarine and calophyllolide (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent) which make the green oil apowerful antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and soothing agent, potential enough to suppress bacteria growth and help you deal with breakouts. It’s also well-known for its skin restorative properties (it boosts new tissue formation) which are especially beneficial for people with sensitive skin, dealing with breakouts, irritations, redness and dark spots, left from already healed blemishes.

When you buy natural oils, always make sure you choose organic – this is the ultimate guarantee that their qualities are fully preserved!Organic plant oils are free of pesticides, antibiotics and hormones and will not pollute your body!
